PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.* Pursoing our plan of transferring to Tnt SUN, from the columns Of PaovitictAt. JOURNALS, the sentiments and speculations of the respective Conductors, on the general posture of political concerns, we conceive that we shall not only gratify our Rea►lers, but afford such information Miltister, as in.y enahle.thent to the feeling tint! 011141imii Of THI PKOPLP. AT LAIIG Fr. ; information which they inight to possess, and Which should not he overlooked in any legislative arrougetuents, particularly those that relate' to internal policy. By this plan, as we have before obsetved,-we shall hold up a faithful mirror to the people of the Metropolis, reflecting the sen timents of their countrymen throughout the 'United Empire. The following article is taken }rani The Doncaster, ,Nottingham, and Lincoln Gazette, of the 21st. inst. " In a numerous community there will always he found some persoos under the influence of a restless sitt it, which no existing enjoyments can appease, and no u nlooked-for prosperity can Sa;is fy. Change is the only atmosphere in which they can breathe, and their only happiness con sists in incessant vicissitude. A few, of these uneasy and hustling individuals have endeavoured to raise the apprehension of war, and we are by them told, that it is utterly impossible that the Allies can allow the intrusion ot Portugal on the Colonial tetritories ot Spain, and t h a t i t i s equa lly absurd to suppose that the same confederates will condescend to be indifferent witnesses of the ag gression committed by the troops of the United -States against the possessions of Ferdinand, north of the Gulp!' of Mexico. It must be concealed, that such representations, involving the question of hostility. have been propagated with unusual success, until a notion was entertained, .which was sensibly felt in the money-market and else where,- that the torch of war would be again ignited, and that the conflagration might spread, from the fuel with which it would be supplied by the corrupt passions of man, from the western to the eastern hemisphere. In consequence of this -situation of things, and the needless alarm which had thus been incautiously excited, a sort of demi official notiticaio n has heen circulated in this country, in which it is distinctly stated that the policy of the Allied Powers " is most decisively, that the peace of Europe shall not be disturbed." We have for a long petiotl endeavoured to im press upon our Readers our own confident persua sion, that the calamities of war had ht en too se verely felt to endanger its early renewal, and that the blessings of peace were too sensibly enjoyed to admit of its precipitate disturbance ; but not withstanding this conviction, aware from painful experience bow liable we always are to tniscon struction and error, we are glad to find our own opinions on hotter anthority - confirmed. • • " The foreign Journals, especially those of Germany, have a large portion of their columns occupied in discussions on the important busineas, for the dispatch of which the approaching Con gress is to be assembled, and %Ile are now inform ed, that the authority of the Diet of Frankfort, to which the affairs of that empire were referred, has not been sufficient to accomplish the purposes for 'which the members were converted, and that it has become necessary that the High Confederates should interpose to settle the disputed interests of many dissatisfied principalities. The tranquillity of Germany is so essential to the general repose of the Continent, that it is with pleasure we discover that the internal concerns of this great feudal -constitution are likely to be submitted to the de termination of those, whose will is not to be con trouled, and whose mandate is not to be dis obeyed. " Another matter of particular importance that is to be deliberated upon in the approaching Con gress, is the military force which can he safely 'and conveniently maintained by each of the Eu ropean Powers in the time of the Emperor Charles the Fifth, standing armies were scarcely known in Europe, and it so happened that a desperate ma rauder, who had disciplined a considerable force, and converted it into a regular military body, ac quired a weight and consequence during the wars with France, which was dangerous' equally to friends and enemies. Since that period armies have been progressively formed, until the hostile es tablishments of the respective coantries have be come so numerous and powerful that immense re venues are required for their support, and dread ful effects are produced in whatever direction they 'may be employed. Under such circumstances, it is the part • of prudence and humanity to limit these establishments, and to reduce them to that standard, which being sufficient to effect the in terior security of the respective Kingdoms, will at •the same time render it difficult on any sudden gust of passion, or on any hasty impulse of policy, to expose to peril neighbouring States. To avert such consequences, the wisdom of the assembled Sovereigns is to be applied, and we hope their nuited exertions for such a beneficial object will not be fruitless and inefficient. " Considering the influence of property on the moral habits of a nation, and the comforts that are det ived to the lowest classes from its acquisi tion and discreet application, it will be seen with pleasure that inclusive of the 31st ult. the Com missioners appointed had received on account of the Banks for Savings upwards of a million and a quarter sterling, which had been invested in pub lic securities, for the future benefit of the indus trious contributors. We wish to them and to their families a protracted enjoyment of the produce of their honourable labours." • The above title originally designated this department of our Paper, but we changed it for THE COUNTRY, by the ad vice of an intelligent friend. It has, however, been observed that the latter title is not sufficiently discriminative, and therefore we resume the former. As it is evident that we cannot see all the PreoviNClA 1. JOU RNALS, we deem it proper to inform the respective Conductors, that when they wish to have their opinions, a% expressed on any particular occasion, communicated to the people at large through the medium of tie SUN, and will send the Paper to us, their wish shell be gratified.

Sir Hudson leading subject of your letter, Lowe caused theist to be brought to him, as he pre tended, to offer them himself to the Father, but in reality to deprive him of them, well knowing that the Officer's in tentions were to sell them at Longwood. No law takes cognizance of this action, nor is there any punishment or dained fur it in the laws enacted against crimes, be cause it comes under the ju risdiction of opinion; but such conduct must he reprobated by every upright man. 3. The English Government confided the furnishing of provisions to Mr. Balcoutbe, whose family was the only one who occasionally visited the French, and its whom they had confidence. Sir . Hudson Lowe deprived Mr. Balcombe of the Purveyor ship on the Ist of April, 1818, availing himself of the tempo rary departure of the head of the concerts for London..., The Purvcyorship has been since given to Mr. lbbetson, Commissary-General, a man of honour ; but his nomina tion is evidently titular, as he is too much occupied with his other duties to attend to the minute details of the service, which will fall into flip hands of disreputable persons, void of credit or re putation. 3. Napoleon has been af flicted with chronic Hepatitis since the month ofSeptember, 1817. Sir Hudson Lowe has persecuted his surgeon, and obliged him to give in his re signation, and consequently the treatment which was put in practice to subdue the malady must have ceased. — This day, Ist of May, the patient has been days un assisted by his surgeon, such conduct must be * * * * 4. Since October, 1817, Mr. O'Meara discontinued writing bulletins, because he engaged, if any were made, to leave the originals in Count Bertrand's hands, which would render any falsification of them impossi ble. Sir Hudson Lowe employ ed Mr. Baxter to make bulk tins without his having ever seen the patient. These bulle tins are only fit to conceal projects. 0 0 0 0 0 Mr. O'Meara's intention to sth.

But if it were true, that this officer wished to give in his resignation, what necessity would there be to force him to do so? If he had resigned voluntarily, every thing would have been regn_ lag; but it appears, that be cause he wished to give la his resignation, Sir Hudson Lowe forces him. to do so—n hat a pitiful argument !
